Port Adelaide has been revealed as a club that is considering making a play for two-club player Jaidyn Stephenson.
Stephenson retired from football last year after struggling at the Kangaroos, albeit with one more year to run on his contract, flagging his love lost for the game on the podcast What Could've Been in August.
However, the former Pick 6 has been open about a return to the AFL, and the Power may just grant his wish, according to the Code Sports.
"Code Sports understands that the Power has been looking at Stephenson in recent weeks, but have yet to commit to letting him train on with the club during the pre-season," the report said.
"The Power are trying to whittle back a list of train-on players to a handful in the coming weeks before starting new coach Josh Carr's first pre-season in the role."
Stephensen burst onto the AFL scene after he was drafted by Collingwood with Pick 6 in the 2017 National Draft.
The speedy forward won the 2018 Rising Star as the Pies made the grand final, only to go down to West Coast by five points.
Stephenson kicked 38 goals in his maiden season, and was a key focal point of Nathan Buckley's forward line.
However, following a dramatic dip in form, coupled with his lucrative deal, Collingwood saw an opportunity to alleviate some salary cap pressure, and worked alongside North Melbourne to broker a trade.
Stephenson, along with Atu Bosenavulagi, found their way to Arden Street ahead of the 2021 season.
He added 76 games during his time at the Kangaroos, but retired as he admitted he lost love for the game.
The 26-year-old returned to his local football club, Ferntree Gully in the Eastern Football League this year, where he was captain.
Stephenson has been initiating contact with clubs throughout 2025, including speaking to the Power as well as Cartlon.
